It's been my belief for a long while that what we should be doing in the all-in-one and other packages is to copy the default image/changes out of the package bundle to the enclosing directory (on the grounds that it's pretty close to certain to be a user's directory to do what they want with) and then run those copies. The supplied default image/changes should never be over written.

 This is in line with a fairly common trope of starting any sort of editor program and getting a suitable 'blank' file. Obviously firing up a particular image via UI clicks etc would simply start the right image.
